Experiments have been conducted to study the effect of mass flow rate on heat and mass transfer coefficients in a packed bed. It has been observed that an increase in mass flow rate of water increases the heat and mass transfer coefficients by 1.7–1.9 and 3.2–3.8 times, respectively, at 55–95 °C. Th...
